Advising

---

As faculty mentors in the Ogden College of Science and Engineering, you play a critical role in the lives of our students. Your purpose is not simply to create course lists and lift holds. At the front lines, you have an opportunity to guide and mentor students through their time on The Hill, and to help them be their best. Quality advising can have a massive impact on student retention and success both at WKU and after, as students pursue their professional goals following graduation. This advising portal was built with guidance from you and is intended to assist you in providing a quality advising experience for all our students.
